Made in Hungary, the MECHLABOR STM 610 is a 3 motor, 3 head studio reel to reel analog recorder.
This was the most successful model in a long series of tape recorders. Production started in 1976 at "Mechanikai Laboratórium" in Hungary. The STM 610 was the stereo version of the 600 series, running at 38.1 and 19.05 cm/s - and "standing" with a 75 Kg weight. These tape machines were used at the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow, where 2000 units were ordered.
This post was made possible with the help of Mr. Nagy Vilmos, owner of the world largest open-reel tape recorders museum of it's kind. More than 350 reel tape recorders made by 130 companies from twenty countries are exhibited and, all the machines exhibited are in working condition. See the museum...
